John's eyes widened as his blood slowly dripped down from his forehead, he couldn't believe that he was out sped, even with the help of his sacred treasure. 

"You're-" 

Before John could finish, the young man swung something which appeared to be a sword, straight towards John's head. 

It was coated in a white lightning aura, preventing John from being able to tell the shape just by looking. 

John tilted his head to the left with his 'Lightning Flash' and 'modero' still active, and yet, the young man's rapier still ended up grazing him. 

Blood slowly dripped from the side of John's cheek as he stepped back to gain some distance, but in that instant, the young man also pressed forward, sending consecutive thrusts straight at John. 

Head, arms, legs, the strikes were all accurately aiming at a part of John's body forcing him on to the defensive. John moved avoiding the strikes by rotating and tilting his body while trying to find a way to get into the counter stance, but the young man just wasn't letting him. 

Cuts began forming around John's body as the two moved around through the trees and as each second passed, John could feel himself getting more and more annoyed. 

As John took another one of his steps back, he hit one of the tree roots which laid on the ground, causing him to lose balance and slowly rotate backwards with his head heading straight to the ground due to the momentum. 

John's patience had just about reached it's limit as the world around him slowly rotated. The young man, didn't waste the opportunity and sent a thrust heading straight towards John's neck. 

Seeing this, John quickly raised his hand at the same time as the thrust was about to pierce him, when all of the sudden. 

*Clang!* 

The weapon was hit by a force which deflected it, causing it to bounce back. The young man taken by surprise, ended up losing balance as he came into contact with the invisible force but in that instant, a Pure white lightning bolt passed from the tip of the rapier straight towards John. 

John's eyes widened as the Lightning bolt quickly made it's way towards him, the distance was too short, John tried to avoid the it, but it was too fast, so fast that John could barely even see it. 

*TZZT!* 

The instant the white lightning bolt came into contact with John, his body quickly began to tremble as it took in the shock. 

"AAAHH!!" 

John had never experienced such pure burning pain before, it was so bad that if he had relaxed his body for just a single second, he would've been knocked out. 

The young boy watched as John took the strike and slowly fell over to the ground on his front. Now that John was stunned, the young man sent another thrust straight at John's head. 

As the thrust was about to pierce John's head, the young man's eyes widened before he jumped away as fast as he could. 

Not even a second after, Ice spikes rose from the ground in front of John, where the young man had been standing. 

As the young man saw this, he took a few steps back and stopped his charge. 

"Tsk... Can't I get a damn break around here?" John asked as he let out a sigh before getting up. 

The young man was out of words, John got up padding his pants and shirt with his hands before wiping away the blood on his face, without a single burn or wound on his face. 

He had struck John by lightning and formed a cut his cheek and yet John appeared unaffected. 

There was no way someone could take lightning head-on without being paralysed for a few seconds, so how? 

"I recall sparring you, how stupid... This is your last chance to turn back." John said clearly towards the man. 

John's breath was visible in the air along with the noticeable change in the temperature. The ground and trees around them slowly began to freeze, causing John's nose to slightly redden. 

John got a good look at the young man in front of him, Long white hair with the same smile on his face from last time. He knew this man would cause trouble; he just didn't think it'd be this soon. 

"I would, but why plan on leaving so soon?" The young man asked 

[Tsk... That rapier, it's strong...] John thought to himself 

The young man carried a long white rapier with electric shocks passing through it. John could tell just by looking that it wasn't something like his Lightning flash, it was something much faster, it was a strong sacred treasure. 

"I warned you." John muttered as he pointed at the sky 

The young man looked up only to see countless Ice crystals formed in the air above him. Without batting an eye, he looked back over at John and noticed a strange blue clock formed in front of him. 

Without any intentio nof letting John pull off whatever he was planning, the young man's body was coated in A white lightning aura once more. 

"antecessum." Translation: Advance 

*Tic* *Toc* 

The two reappeared together in a clash next to a tree, both with their daggers in contact with the other. Without pulling back from the clash, John continued to push forward with the clash, one thing he would never lose to would be strength. 

The young man however, let John overpower him, and tilted his body in the last second right as John's daggers managed to pass through his dagger defence. 

Right as John's daggers passed vertically down through the area where he had been standing, beside him, the young man send a thrust heading straight towards the side of John's torso 

However, once again, like before, he ended up hitting on to an invisible force like before, but unlike that time, he maintained a firm grip over his rapier, before sending another two consecutive strikes straight at John. 

Both strikes hit John, piercing him in his triceps and on the side of his stomach, sending John straight at the frozen tree beside him. 

The wounds weren't that deep, but the young man's eyes widened as John's wounds slowly began to close while steam slowly let itself out from it. 

Right as the man was about to continue his charge, he felt a chill go down his spine so he leapt back once more. 

However as he landed on the area he had leapt back to, spikes rose up from it, nearly piercing him in the process. 

He had managed to avoid it by using the non-edge part of the Spike to jump to the side, however, the other area where he had Jumped to also rose up in spikes. 

As the spike slowly seeped into his arm, it quickly began to spread itself through the area of wound to the rest of his body, slowly freezing it in the process. While this happened, the ground beneath the young man who's body laid on the floor, quickly rose up aiming to pierce at him. 

But right before it could hit him, he cut off the ice spike which his arm was stuck to before horizontally jumping as high as he could with all the strength he had in his leg. 

It was only after he had jumped that he had remembered what the young boy had formed in the air above him. 

The young man watched nervously as he slowly made his way towards the Ice crystals looked significantly different than before, sharper, bigger, and sinister. On top of that, the crystals were now spinning at a High speed. 

With no way to get himself out of the situation, the young man glared straight at John who remained seated on the tree with a grin formed on his face. 

"Ferrum Tempestatem glacies" Muttered John / Translation: Razor Ice Storm 

The ice crystals were all simultaneously propelled straight at the young man, all while his rapier began to glow. 

He quickly thrust his rapier towards all the incoming projectiles, striking them right in their core, causing the dusts and ice flakes to be sent straight at him as the attacks dispersed. 

He was fast, he quickly rotated his body striking at whichever projectile which was the closest to him at the time. Even John, didn't think he'd be able to pull something like that off. 

{But... there's a limit to what you can do with one arm] John thought to himself 

Cuts began forming around the young man's body, mainly around his legs and arms, as he failed to completely strike out all of the attacks. 

The number of cuts and wounds began to quickly increase in his body, along with the glow of his rapier.
